This is an old one. I normally dont buy electronics from thrift stores because you dont know the condition. Almost all stores have a no exchange policy with their electronic stuff.
I saw this at Savers.
I brought out the G1 and googled the brand. A UK company .Went to amazon and read this review. I plugged her in. The light went on but how did I know it will heat up enough to work. It was $12.99 which is above my thrifting point. I went to the housewares dept, got a pitcher, went into the bathroom, got water and poured it in and waited for the thing to heat up.(I went on a Thurs morning and asked permission before I did all this, the manager said, sure clean my floors while testing it! )
It gave a puff of hot steam. The other customers, came around to see what I was doing(notice I always attract a crowd). I pushed the button on top of the handle and there was puff of hot hot steam. The filthy floors looked awesome.It heated up and worked beautifully on the store’s tiles floors.
I bought it thinking I would resell it. It came with the carpet glider and 2 in decent shape extra floor pads. I brought it home and of course tested it on my filthy kitchen floors. It worked like a dream.
NK came home and I showed it to him. He loved it and forbid me to resell…
The funny thing is, I saw a 2nd one the last time I was at Savers. Only this one didnt work !

Me: I sent you an email.
Its good that it came with the extra floor pads.
See the problem I have with using used vacuum cleaner is that you dont know what is cleaned with it. When I first came to US and was shopping with my roommate for household stuff,we saw a vacuum cleaner for sale but my roommate forbid me from getting it home. Just because she had once seen her friend clean dog poop with it. no idea how she managed to do it or if it is even possible to clean that with vacuum but i never touched anyone’s used vacuum cleaner every. Sorry did i gross you out with my comment?
Me: Ewww… ewww…ewwww
Great deal!
